Repeat groin injuries for a goalie are something to closely monitor. Depending on severity that's something that could have long lasting issues since it's so critical to the position. Again, in a cap world, we can't let $3.8 million go to waste either. If Jack earns the starting position we'd be smart to clear him from the books.

Hopefully they don’t overplay Campbell and wear him out or get him injured .
and lol at people thinking Mzarek is easily moveable in the off season without us paying to get rid of him if he continues to be on and off the shelf , hell it won’t be easy to move him even if he plays to his avg and gets in 25/30 games

He’s always been a bandaid and the term is a year too long. Should’ve let another GM make that mistake.

If his performance becomes an issue , waive the guy next year. If someone picks him up fine, if not burry his 2 years on the farm.

He'll be fine. Jeez louise...
He's not the first and won't be the last goaltender to have a groin injury. I don't know when groin injuries have become the equivalent to losing a limb. Just ask Andersen and Campbell last season.

He's 1 year removed from playing a 40 game season.
But his history is undeniable, which always made him a poor choice for a contingency plan when you have your blossoming #1G in a contract year.

McElhinney isn't even playing anymore after posting a .875 last year. I don't know why you think he should have been viewed as a long term solution, but he clearly wasn't
What the hell does this have to do with McElhinney?
You know he’s retired right? After posting a 4 win, 8 loss season along with a 3.09GAA and .875sv% playing behind an elite Lightning team last year

Not something I am overly panicked about yet to the point of saying he has to be moved in the offseason.
Give the guy time to properly heal, then we see how he performs before making any decisions. It's only been a few weeks into a 3 year deal here.

I don't know what to say. Not a great impression and his game against DET was nothing to write home about.
He needs to heal properly. This cannot happen when the season gets long.

I liked the idea of a goalie platoon situation, but I didn't care for Mrazek at that hit or term.
His career as a Leaf is not groin well so far

yup , we can bury him but roughly only half his salary and we still have to replace his spot in the lineup so even if we sign another bargain bin guy we'd only save a few hundred K
best case scenario if we bury him is a rookie steps up and actually gives us some value over compared to another cast off
Burying him means about $2.65M of wasted cap space, so even a league min rookie replacement is the equivalent of paying him around $3.4M. So yea, about $400k savings and a league min goalie.
Going going groin, it's a Woll new world tonight. I had a Hutch this may happen.
